Atle created a very useful list of measure words. It would be an excellent tool if someone ever forgot which measure words we have learned and what they are used for. It is very clear to read in the bullet format. Also bei and ping have very good examples with them. I also like how she compared the English version of making a word plural to the Chinese way. The only thing I would do differently is add more examples to help someone see how all the measure words are used in a sentence.

Atle, I really like the way that you broke it down in the top of the notes comparing how we say things in English and then how we say them in Chinese. That will help people reading your notes to be able to see one difference between these two languages. It makes it easier to visualize. The only thing I would change in that section is in your example that you put for how you make Chinese words plural. I think it would be helpful if you translated the meaning and pinyin of that phrase. Then if people forgot those characters they can easily see what they mean. Another thing that you put in your notes that was very useful was listing all of the measure words. That was great because it's easy to forget what some of the many measures words are that we have learned in Chinese. Your examples for two of the measure words made it much more clear on how to use them in a sentence. Overall, I think that your notes are easy to understand and are great to help us remember the measure words that we have learned. Great job Atle.
